Trade the size you would trade live
A $50,000 demo tempts you into ten-lot positions you would never take with your own $2,000. Set the virtual balance to match your intended real deposit and the practice becomes meaningful.
Trade the real market with virtual money
A demo account runs on the same live price feed and the same execution logic as a funded account. The only difference is that the money is not real so the lessons are free.
Everything except the risk
- $50,000 in virtual funds, topped up on request
- Live streaming prices across all 250+ instruments
- The full MetaTrader 5 platform, including the strategy tester
- Expert Advisors and custom indicators fully supported
- No expiry while the account stays active
- No deposit, no card details, no obligation
What a demo cannot teach you. Demo trading removes the two things that break most live accounts: the feeling of losing real money, and the slippage that comes with real size. Traders who are consistently profitable on demo frequently are not on live. Treat the demo as platform training and strategy testing not as evidence that a strategy works.
How to use a demo account well
Keep a journal from day one
Record the reason for entry, the planned exit and what actually happened. The habit is worth more than the trades, and building it costs nothing on demo.
Give it enough trades to mean something
Twenty trades tell you almost nothing about a strategy. A hundred start to. Resist concluding that an approach works after a good week.
